Congratulations, Dwight Howard.
You have now done the impossible.
You have pretty much alienated everybody you ever knew in Orlando.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
The fans who once poured their hearts, souls and disposable income into you are irate because you lied to them about your "love" and "loyalty" to the city.
The kids who once idolized you can't stand you because you stiffed them by blowing off your own youth basketball camp before bailing out and high-tailing it to the West Coast.
Your former coach Stan Van Gundy and former general manager Otis Smith -- two decent men who had your back at every turn – are surely disappointed in the way you threw them under the bus and cost them their seven-figure jobs.
And, sadly and pathetically, you've even lost the respect of your former Magic teammates – a bunch of good guys who you once called your "family" but now have denigrated and minimized into a "a team full of people nobody wanted."
"I always tell people, 'Hey, my team in Orlando was a team full of people who nobody wanted, and I was the leader and I led that team with a smile on my face," Howard said in an interview earlier this week with an L.A. television reporter.
Is anybody shocked that Dwight, who in recent years has surrounded himself with an army of bootlickers and brownnosers, believes the world revolves around him and only him? Is anybody surprised that Dwight is convinced that nobody else except his three favorite people -- me, myself and I -- had anything to do with the success of the Magic during his eight years with the franchise?
His former teammates certainly aren't.
"At some point, when are you [Dwight], as a man, going to take ownership and stay out of the media in a professional manner?" Howard's former best friend, Magic point guard Jameer Nelson said when asked about Howard's demeaning comments.
"It's disrespectful," former Magic player Rashard Lewis said of Dwight's comments. "We helped Dwight become the player he was. We made a good run. Hell, look at those (conference and division) banners hanging in the stands. They don't say Dwight Howard on them..."
Former Magic player J.J. Redick probably put it best in an interview with ESPN: "I'm not surprised by it. ... I would be more surprised when Dwight starts taking responsibility. … You can't take all the credit and not accept any of the blame."
You can if you're Dwight, the arrogant, egotistical brat who has never once apologized or held himself accountable for the deplorable, duplicitous way he left Orlando. You know he must be a petty, back-stabbing boor when classy, mild-mannered players like Nelson, Redick and Lewis are taking shots at him from locker rooms all over the country.
Howard, as you might expect, refuses to take any of the blame for his demeaning words and is frenetically flip-flopping as he has done so many times before. He's even resorted to his favorite excuse – blaming the media for "twisting and turning" his words and blowing the whole thing "out of proportion."
Sort of reminds me of the day Dwight tried to blame the media for making up the story that he tried to get Van Gundy fired. Remember how he looked like the biggest dope in America as he stood there dumbfounded – like the emperor with no clothes -- as the media told him Van Gundy himself had confirmed the story?
"My statement was just to say that our team that I played with in Orlando, we were the underdogs," Howard said as he tried to lie, cry and deny his way out of this latest self-induced PR Dwightmare. "Nobody really talked about our team. It was underrated. Everybody overlooked us for the whole time I was there in Orlando and I hated that. We all hated that. We thrived off that. My comments were never to say anything disrespectful … or downgrade any of those guys.
"I would always tell them I wouldn't trade them for the world. That's how I viewed it. For the most part, those guys know that. They know who I am and they probably just heard something and people twisted it and turned it in different ways. I'm not that kind of guy. I would never disrespect those guys. It just kind of got blown out of proportion."
Do you notice anything missing from Dwight's extensive explanation of his "team full of people who nobody wanted" comments?
Never once does he take responsibility for what he said.
Never once does he say, "I made a mistake" by choosing the wrong words.
Never once does he apologize for what he said.
Never once.
Dwight Howard owes everybody in this city an apology.
The fans, the kids, Van Gundy, Otis Smith and a Magic organization that did everything it could to make him happy.
Mostly, though, he owes his former teammates an apology.
To elaborate on Jameer's eloquent assessment of his former best friend:
When are you, Dwight, as a man, going to stand up and take ownership of all the harm you've done and all the people you've hurt?

I read in the forum about putting Drew McIntyre back in his Chosen one gimmick and I stopped and thought of all the horrible and amazing transitions that either broke the character or helped the character.

Drew McIntyre
Most people remember this guy "debuting"
Lately, when I watch WWE, I've found myself missing the old days. WWE's storylines have become boring and the wrestlers need to have better characters, because otherwise, I'm not interested in them. Last Monday, I was really impressed though. The show was great.
When Mark Henry said that he was retiring, I honestly believed him. His acting was amazing. And when he power slammed John

The Real Way to Avoid a Student Loan Debt Crisis
Published: April 26, 2012 at 10:59 am
The recent recession forced many people out of jobs and back to the classroom to learn new skills. As a result, we now have an impending student loan debt crisis. Current reports show that U.S. student loan debt is surging above one trillion dollars, surpassing credit card and auto loan debt. Additionally, the majority (80 percent) of student loans are government-guaranteed, with 30 percent of these government-backed loans past due 30 days or more. That means the taxpayers are on the hook should the loans default.
But the real problem is not the student loan debt itself. Rather, the real problem is that even with their shiny new degrees, graduates (both young and old) are not finding jobs. What's the solution?
First, we have to retrain the high school and college counselors who give students advice about which major and career to pursue. Students aren't getting jobs when they graduate; yet, there is a great need in the U.S. right now in the areas of science, math, and engineering, as well as in areas that don't require a bachelor's degree, such as fiber installers, electricians, and mechanics.
Too many counselors aren't helping students see the path to employment based on the degree they're picking. Instead they tell students to "follow your interests and passion" and pick a major based on that. How about giving students a three column list that shows the path to employment based on various majors. The list can show the jobs you can get with a two-year technical degree, such as machinist and electrician; jobs you can get with a bachelor's degree only, like teacher, accountant, or engineer; and the jobs you need a masters degree or higher to get work, such as psychologist or sociologist. If more students knew that their chosen major requires an advanced degree to find employment, chances are high that they'd choose a different major.Continued on the next page

Explaining Palestinian Politics: When Even the Moderates Talk Like Extremists, No Peace Deal is Possible
The Rubin Report
U.S. and European policymakers (not to mention journalists and academics) often talk as if the Palestinian issue is the most important aspect of their. foreign policies, the Middle East, and even the whole world. Yet as recent events show, the nature of Palestinian politics and how they ensure there can be no peace are either misunderstood or not even seriously examined at all.
Fatah controls the PLO, the Palestinian Authority (PA), and about a half-dozen militias. If there is going to be Israel-Palestinian peace, Fatah is going to have to make it.
Fatah is also a client of the United States which provides (directly or through international fund-raising efforts) Fatah's money. It trains Fatah's soldiers and provides diplomatic backing.
If there is a genuine moderate in Fatah's higher levels it is Ahmad Qurie, best known as Abu Ala. He has no organized political base but is well-known and did get over 30 percent of the delegates' support in the Fatah Central Committee election.
During the 1990s' peace process, Abu Ala was one of the main Palestinian negotiators. Israelis who worked with him felt he wanted negotiations to succeed. At one point, when things were going well, he astonished fellow negotiators by breaking into a little dance of joy.
But what happened when Qurie lost in the recent election by a vote or two? He immediately charged that Israel rigged the election to install those who would "rubber stamp" its terms. Proposing compromises, much less a deal, with Israel, would prove any Palestinian leader is a traitor.
With such a political culture, how could Fatah ever make a deal with Israel?
Here's another link in this chain. One of the main targets of Abu Ala's wrath is Muhammad Dahlan. He was once Yasir Arafat's protégé, the only West Banker included in the higher command of the first intifada in Tunis.
But he later quarreled with Arafat, angry at the leader's building up of the Islamist Hamas to fight against Israel. Dahlan correctly understood that it was only a matter of time until Hamas turned against Fatah and competed with it for power. At one point, Arafat reportedly slapped Dahlan in front of several colleagues, an ultimate insult.
Dahlan was the PA's commander of Preventive Security in the Gaza Strip, meaning it was his job to defeat Hamas there. After Arafat's death, he had more of a free hand. He was then the national security advisor of PA leader Mahmoud Abbas. He failed miserably to stop Hamas from taking over the Gaza Strip. If anyone bears responsibility for Fatah's humiliating defeat there, it's Dahlan.
This has not prevented him, however, from remaining at the very top of Fatah's politics. We are now told that this man, who has been a key player in Fatah for 20 years and a protégé of its last two leaders, is a fresh face from the younger generation.
Dahlan is a gunslinger, a tough militia leader. Like Abu Ala, however, he is one of the more pragmatic people in Fatah. Israelis can talk to him; he has few illusions that Fatah can win a military victory over Israel. He is not a bloodthirsty extremist, at least by Palestinian standards.
Recently, though, he proclaimed that Fatah has never and will never recognized Israel. In a plea to his Hamas enemies, he made it clear that Fatah would never ask Hamas to accept Israel's existence as a condition for unity. In short, he is inviting Hamas to fight Israel alongside Fatah. Does Dahlan want a bloodbath? No. But he realizes that if he is going to have political ambitions he is going to have to bash Israel from a militant standpoint.
These two men-Abu Ala and Dahlan-are among the most moderate in Fatah. In their heads, they probably know that a compromise two-state solution is the best way forward for the Palestinians. But they will never have a chance to implement such a policy for two reasons.
First, the movement will always choose a much more hardline leadership-and I don't necessarily mean as the nominal front man but as the group's and the West Bank's real rulers. Already, it is clear that the next leader of Fatah, the PLO, and the PA is Muhammad Ghaneim a man who-and this is no joke-is far more hardline tactically than Arafat. Ghaneim has still not even accepted the 1993 Oslo agreement which Arafat signed and which provides the basis not only for the peace process but for the PA itself.
Second, they know that whatever their personal views they must out-militant everyone else, insisting that there can be no concessions to Israel and that the Palestinians must maintain their demands inflexibly, glorify violence, while competing with Hamas in their inflexibility and radical rhetoric.
None of this appears in the Western media, governments, NGOs, and "experts," groups which generally merely pronounce Fatah as moderate, flexible, ready for peace-indeed as more so than Israel! Yet there is not going to be any peace and the factors outlined above explain why.
If men like Abu Ala and Dahlan had their way--one might add PA Prime Minister Salam Fayyad here--at least the status quo could be maintained and improved on. But there is real evidence that the movement might be swinging in an even more radical direction. Abu Ala and Dahlan will go along with this and even feed the fire in order to promote their careers. As a result, the Israel-Palestinian conflict will continue for decades. And if you don't look at how Palestinian politics work and who leads them you will never ever understand why.

A year ago, Damonick Kunz was diagnosed with a bone cancer called Ewing's Sarcoma. On April 4 he and his family, with a large gathering of donors, volunteers and staff, celebrated the end of his successful treatment at Mary Bridge Children's Hospital.
Damonick was the first of many children who will ring this big bell to mark important milestones in their recovery from serious illness or injury. The Milestone Bell is installed in the rose garden near Mary Bridge, and is surrounded by whimsical topiary animals, hundreds of flowers and a prehistoric-looking "dinosaur food" plant.

"I had no idea that it is considered wrong in Christian circles to be engaged prior to being divorced."
Conservative author Dinesh D'Souza responding to a World magazine article last week that noted "questions about his relationship to a woman not his wife."
According to Warren Cole Smith's article in World, a news magazine aimed at conservative Christians, the married D'Souza was spotted at a South Carolina hotel with a woman other than his wife. According to D'Souza, his 20-year marriage has been unraveling for the past two years.
World continues, "The episode is a strange twist in D'Souza's otherwise meteoric rise in the evangelical world. He developed a reputation among evangelicals with a string of best-sellers, including "The Roots of Obama's Rage," which spawned a movie, "Obama: 2016," which has now grossed more than $30 million."
According to The New York Times, D'Souza has resigned under pressure from his day job as president of King's College in New York City.
In The New York Times excellent Disunion series on the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, Auburn University professor of Southern history Kenneth W. Noe recently wrote on the role drought played in the conflict:
"Food shortages, inflation and other hardships the Confederate plain folk suffered, as well as at least part of the disillusionment that grew out of those issues — the entire litany of the so-called 'internalist' interpretation of Confederate defeat as a 'rich man's war and poor man's fight' — actually can be traced back at least in part to the drought of 1862, its negative effect on Southern food production, and the choices the Jefferson Davis administration made when confronting the situation. The newborn Confederacy simply had been born at perhaps the worst possible moment in the 19th century to launch an agricultural republic. Meanwhile, Northern crops, especially Midwestern wheat, boomed."
The Rural Blog tipped us to new poll of rural voters from swing states. The survey by the National Rural Assembly and Center for Rural Strategies found:
"When asked if they approved or disapproved of the 'Affordable Care Act, sometimes called Obamacare,' 60 percent of rural voters said they opposed the law, and 34 percent said they favored it. Without reference to 'Obamacare,' voters were asked if they approved or disapproved of the law, which 'would give states the opportunity to extend Medicaid coverage to cover more low income families with health insurance, with the federal government picking up 90 percent of the costs,' and 45 percent said they approved, while 42 percent disapproved."

Georgia voters will have a say on expanding their state's charter schools on Nov. 6. (This is unlike Alabama, where lawmakers have apparently abandoned the pursuit of charter schools.)
According to The American Prospect, the Georgia vote would allow for institutions other than local districts to grant charter schools, which are non-traditional public schools that in theory allow administrators more freedom to teach children.
The Prospect's Abby Rapoport writes that if the amendment passes the Peach State "could now become a major destination for money-making charters. Their lobbyists may end up with more influence than local school boards when it comes to the state commission's decisions on adding new charter schools."
Causing concerns among some voters is the fact that Georgia has been cutting its education budget over the past few years. More charters, the theory goes, would further dilute those dollars.
Rapoport sums up, "This campaign offers a stark look at just how odd the reform argument can get. Here, there have been billions in cuts to public education and lawmakers complain that schools aren't performing well. So instead of making investments in education—or simply replacing some of the funds taken away—they spend money elsewhere, to create a new, competing system."
The Public Affairs Research Council of Alabama has analyzed all 11 constitutional amendments Alabama voters will find on their ballots on Nov. 6, the sort of tedious work that work that would send most of us into a deep slumber.
Here's what our sharp-eyed friends at PARCA found.
With the presidential election only two weeks and a day away, things are going to get hairy. Best to step back and laugh it up before we lose perspective.
Here are a few of our favorites presidential moments from Saturday Night Lives past.
This one from 1988 is "Dukakis After Dark," featuring the soon-to-be defeated Democrat Michael Dukakis, with guest appearances by "Willie Horton," "Joan Baez" and "Jimmy Carter."
In 1992, SNL enjoyed skewering three presidential candidates – George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Ross Perot. At one point during a debate skit, Perot (played by Dana Carvey) tells Clinton (Phil Hartman), "Hold it there, cracker boy, I'm not finished."
And four years ago Tina Fey went to town on Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, portraying her word-salads at their confusing best.
The Institute for Southern Studies reported this week that an environmental watchdog group has learned that natural gas drillers are still using diesel fuels in hydraulic "fracking" operations despite known health hazards. That's a violation of the Safe Drinking Water Act.
This finding should be interesting to those here in Alabama who are concerned about the Talladega National Forest possibly being opened for drilling.
The ISS wrote, "The West Virginia-based group SkyTruth analyzed a database of voluntary industry disclosures and found that diesel fuels were used in fracking on 448 separate occasions in 12 states between January 2011 and August 2012. Fracking involves injecting water and chemicals underground at high pressure to release natural gas from rock formations and has been linked to groundwater contamination.
"Arkansas had the most frequent number of diesel uses for fracking at 171, followed by Texas at 142. SkyTruth also found instances of fracking with diesel in Alaska, Colorado, Kansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Utah and West Virginia."

The Sparks Centennial Hooligans 1 squad put any questions of superiority to bed with their first trip to the dish. Using a combination of timely hits and mistakes in the field, the Hooligans 1 jumped all over Hooligans 2 in the top of the first inning with a 10-spot.
A number of walks and passed balls helped fuel the barrage. Shortstop Brennan Gilmore capped off the opening inning onslaught with a frozen rope that landed just inside the left field line for an RBI triple before he touched home with an errant throw home for the double-digit advantage.
"This is the best hitting team that I've ever been associated with," SC Hooligans 1 coach Pat Gilmore said. "Every single kid up and down the line absolutely can plaster the ball. Today we had two home runs and they were the first home runs for both of those guys for the whole year and now that means the entire lineup has hit a home run. That's outstanding for a Hooligan All-Star team."
The bottom of the first inning would prove to be the best chance the Hooligans 2 team would have to get back in the game, but nothing came of their efforts. After a pop out on a bunt was quickly turned into two outs with a double up of the runner that had left first base early, the Hooligans 2 put runners on the corners. Eager to get his team on the scoredboard, Alexis Martinez bolted from third to home on a wild pitch but was called out on a bang-bang play at the plate to end the first frame.
Compared to their first turn in the batter's box, the Hooligans 1 team managed little offense in the second inning but it was still able to produce a pair of runs. Center fielder Dylan Collins reached base safely when a throw to first went high, setting the stage for teammate Evan Wombolt. Swinging at the first pitch in the strike zone, Wombolt sent a towering shot over the left-center field fence, giving the Hooligans 2 squad a 12-0 edge.
After walking a trio in the bottom of the first inning, Hooligans 2 starting pitcher Anthony Ocegueda found his groove as he struck out the side in the bottom of the second.
Another run was added to the Hooligans 2 lead in the top of the third before the offense again exploded in the fourth.
After Kameron Soubiea led the top of the fourth frame off with a single to center field, Ocegouda delivered on a home run birthday request from the stands with a two-run shot to straight-away center to leave the scoreboard reading 15-0. Back-to-back singles and an error followed to load the bases before a pair of singles from Wombolt and Jon Kimball singled in a run each for a 17-0 advantage. A pair of bases loaded walks brought the score to 19-0 before three more runs were tacked on. Soubiea came on in relief in the bottom of the third and struck out three to end the game with a final score of 22-0.
The lopsided victory capped off a three-day span in which the Hooligans 1 team outscored its opponents 59-2 in 13 innings of play.
"What we did is almost unheard of, at least that I've ever heard of in the Sparks area," Gilmore said. "We actually no-hit the team in our first game and then tonight we had a two-hitter. We played 13 total innings and 10-run ruled them all. That's saying something. That's really a testament to Centennial coaching for the majors. We played against the other Centennial Hooligans team tonight and they were undefeated, that shows how good the Centennial squad is right now. We're excited about these guys. Going into the tournament on Friday at Washoe these guys should be one of the top seeds. I guarantee you we're going to come out and give them a game. We have no individuals. The entire team is very strong and our pitching is absolutely amazing. We have six guys that are true starters."
Both Sparks Centennial Hooligan Squads will advance in the Hooligan/Renegade Tournament where they will play this weekend at the Washoe Little League Fields starting Friday. For Gilmore and his Hooligans 1 crew, he has to make sure his kids are prepared for the tougher competition that awaits.
"That's the big challenge for me, especially with the way games have ended for us," Gilmore said. "There's a deflation that goes on when you're so up on it and games aren't competitive anymore. The one thing that will get us competitive again is the game, just the game itself. Especially with the rivalry. We have a huge rivalry with Washoe. We've never beat them in the last five years that I've been associated with. We want Washoe and we want Washoe bad. They'll give us a game and so will Reno American and Reno Continental. Between all these groups, I guarantee our kids are really excited to play those rivals."

What's Worse in April: Paying Taxes, or Four Wheeler of the Year?
I just read your Four Wheeler of the Year article (April '11). Wow! The only truck that broke during testing won. This is the second time Jeep won First place and could not finish the event because it broke and had to be towed while the other trucks finish the events.
I drive past Jeeps all the time that are busted down on trails. I always lend a helping hand and tow with my '00 Land Cruiser. It has 165,000 miles on it, and I've only replaced the starter, an O2 sensor, and a coil. I would love to own a Jeep, but they break continuously.

You must be kidding! The Grand Cherokee wins the Four Wheeler of the Year award even though it breaks during your testing, leaving it with no four-wheel drive? I would say that would be immediate disqualification if it can't even finish your evaluation. I noticed you didn't give the Land Rover a second chance on the empirical section because it didn't get delivered in time. A few more points there, and the LR4 would have easily beaten the Grand overall. So the Grand is the best four-wheeler as long as you can have another one delivered to the trail when your first one breaks? I guess the operation was a success, but the patient died. We know where your bread is buttered.

Come on! Grand Cherokee again? I can't believe you have picked a vehicle that is notorious for transfer case/transmission failures and is an all-wheel-drive gas hog (12 mpg city) for a winner. Your selection criteria are seriously messed up.
Loved your mud tire test and report. Keep up the great work!
Wade Krinke

I have always enjoyed reading your Four Wheeler of the Year review, but I do think it needs a bit of perspective. Your 2011 review seems to leave the impression of best of the new SUVs that were available at the time. Your winner fell apart in testing. The Second- and Third-place vehicles did not. The Staff Picks voted 4 to 2 in favor of the LR4 over your winner, the Grand Cherokee. Not exactly a ringing endorsement. Your What's Not comments did not leave the reader feeling that any of the vehicles deserved first place. I think you should also include a new test of the latest version of last year's winner, so that the reader can feel that the winner is truly the latest and greatest available to the buyer.

I really liked the article on the new Grand Cherokee. I just wished someone made a similar adjustable air suspension lift for an '09 Commander. Not too much out there for Commanders.
Also, can't you find a new picture of Doug? He looks like he's about to shoot someone (maybe me, after this comment).
James I. Morgan
Sandy, UT
Hey, that's how he looks when he's on his meds. You don't wanna see him otherwise.
Given the circumstances, we anticipated a fair amount of blowback over our choice of the Grand Cherokee. Yes, its transfer case broke, but it was still functional (in two-wheel drive), and by the time of the incident, we'd already logged sufficient miles in the initial test vehicle over a variety of terrain to be able to score it objectively in every category.
About our personal picks: Yes, it may seem odd that most of us picked the LR4 as our personal favorite, but we think this actually validates our test procedures. The way it works is this: At the conclusion of the test, all of the judges assign individual scores to each vehicle in dozens of categories: cornering, sand performance, dash layout, etc. We don't add up our total points before we turn in our scorebooks, so when we make our personal picks a few days later, we don't know for certain which vehicle each of us picked as our individual winner. Which is another way of saying, most of us thought at the end of the test that the Land Rover had won. But when we added up the numbers the following week, that wasn't the case.
It also bears repeating: Our FWOTY test is limited to vehicles that are all-new or substantially revised for the upcoming model year. We do like the idea of including the previous year's winner, though, to establish a kind of benchmark against which the newer rigs can be measured. We may try doing that for the 2012 test.
One more thing to keep in mind: The Grand Cherokee costs a lot less than an LR4, and price is one of the criteria we include in our empirical scoring.
Finally, we suppose we could have simply lied and pretended that nothing happened during our test, but we thought it wiser to report what really transpired and let you, the readers, decide for yourselves. We also wanted to call out the Jeep engineers, who flew a red-eye from Detroit to L.A. within hours after we relayed the news to them, and who tore apart the busted T-case the very next day to determine the cause of the breakage. We can think of some other manufacturers who would have simply blamed us for driving recklessly (we weren't), sent us a repair bill and done nothing more, and it speaks volumes about the dedication of the Grand Cherokee engineering team that they (a) were willing to drop everything they were doing (and lose a night's sleep in the process) to diagnose the problem and devise a solution; and (b) that they placed so much weight on the experiences of some off-road writers in the desert. Because of that, we like to think we did our part, in some small way, to help the Jeep guys build a better Grand Cherokee. Put another way: Hopefully, we broke our test vehicle so yours won't.

Fairfax Radiological Consultants, P.C. (FRC)
Fairfax, Virginia
"With Cox Business, the amount of data we get from our network in a short period of time is amazing."
Rick R. Arnold - Sr. Director of Information Technology, Fairfax Radiological Consultants
Services Provided:Cox Transparent LAN
When dealing with X-rays, MRI and CT scans and other radiological services, speed is critical.
Nobody knows this better than Fairfax Radiological Consultants (FRC), the largest full-service radiology physician practice in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area as well as the Commonwealth of Virginia. Its board-certified radiologists specialize in mammography, ultrasound, interventional radiology, CT and MRI scanning, nuclear medicine, diagnostic X-ray, pediatric imaging and other radiological services. In addition, the company employs over 500 professionals, registered technologists and support personnel. FRC works with three major area hospitals, and owns and operates 14 outpatient facilities in the Northern Virginia area. The company had been using a courier service to pick up and drop off images and X-rays to its outpatient facilities, but that method was becoming inefficient and outdated. "We were about to implement Picture Archiving Communications (PAC), a brand-new technology system that would enable us to move data versus physicians or film from one center to another. This would allow patients to go to the facility closest to their homes, and would also greatly reduce turnaround time for study results," said Rick R. Arnold, FRC's Senior Director of Information Technology. "But we needed greater network bandwidth to move large digital image files more quickly." Unfortunately, FRC's current network service provider was not up to the challenge.

Building capacities for effective trade policy formulation and management
Among the four strategic areas of the Agenda 2025 of the Government of Mozambique, economic development has arguably the biggest impact on absolute poverty, which declined from 69 per cent to 54 per cent between 1997 and 2003.
To sustain current growth rates within a broad-based redistribution format, more investments have to be re-directed at the productive sectors of the economy. Substantial increases in the effectiveness of the overall trade policy framework and its management are required.
To this end, national-level and devolved trade policies and strategies need to be oriented towards optimizing Mozambique's position and tackling supply-side constraints.
This project will contribute to overall trade policy coherence, trade facilitation and improved coordination between trade facilitating institutions; expanded national capacities for trade policy analysis and external trade facilitating institutions; and an acceleration of investments that facilitate the growth of Mozambique's productive capacities in response to enhanced preferential and non-preferential trade opportunities.
